I majored in psychology and I can see how it might be helpful to have at least a background knowledge of it. I guess it really depends what you want to do and what the school offers. I knew people at my college who wanted to be teachers. The way that program worked was that you majored in education with a concentration on the age group you wanted and then minored in the subject you wanted to teach. It depends what the school's program is like. Either way you have a lot of time to decide since minors have fewer credits you don't have to declare one right away. It also can depend where you want to teach, if you plan to stay in California minoring in Spanish might be a good idea.
